Independent Rep. Kevin Kiley is leading the race in California’s 6th Congressional District as ballots continue to be counted. Kiley, who switched from the Republican Party to run as a no party preference candidate, aims to focus on reducing costs and improving public safety. He is closely followed by Republican Michael Stansfield and Democrat Richard Pan. The race is part of several contests influenced by the redrawn congressional map under Proposition 50. In other notable races, Democrats Scott Wiener and Connie Chan are projected to advance in the 11th District, while Republican James Gallagher and Democrat Mike McGuire are leading in the 1st District. Doris Matsui holds a narrow lead in the 7th District, and Adam Gray is projected to advance in the 13th District. These races are drawing attention due to open seats, prominent candidates, and potentially competitive matchups in November.
